2013 FORD SUPER DUTY service interval reset

Changing the engine oil and oil filter
WARNING:Do not handle a hot oil filter with bare hands.
WARNING:Continuous contact with used motor oil has caused
cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your skin by washing with
soap and water.
Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ that
calculates the proper oil change service interval. When the information
display indicates:OIL CHANGE REQUIRED, change the engine oil and
oil filter. See theInformation Displayschapter in theOwner Manual
for more information.
Refer toMotorcraft part numberstheCapacities and Specifications
chapter for the engine oil filter part number. This filter protects your
engine by filtering harmful, abrasive or sludge particles and particles
significantly smaller than most available “will-fit” filters.
To change the engine oil and oil filter:
1. Unscrew the oil filter and oil pan drain plug and wait for the oil to drain.
Note:The oil pan drain plug only requires 1/4 turn to removal/install. A
3/8 inch socket drive may be used to assist with removal/installation, but be
careful not to over-tighten the plug during installation.
2. Replace the filter.
3. Reinstall the oil pan drain plug.
4. Refill the engine with new oil. For the proper capacity, seeCapacities
and Specificationschapter.
5. Reset the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™. See theInformation Displays
chapter in theOwner Manualfor more information.
Engine lubrication for severe service operation
The following conditions define severe operation for which engine
operation with SAE 5W-40 API CJ-4 is recommended. Oil and oil filter
change intervals will be determined by the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™
as noted previously.
•
frequent or extended idling (over 10 minutes per hour of normal driving)
•low-speed operation/stationary use
•if vehicle is operated in sustained ambient temperatures below -10°F
(-23°C) or above 100°F (38°C)

Protecting Your Investment
Maintenance is an investment that will pay dividends in the form of
improved reliability, durability and resale value. To maintain the proper
performance of your vehicle and its emission control systems, it is
imperative that scheduled maintenance be completed at the designated
intervals.
Your vehicle is equipped with the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor® (IOLM)
system which displays a message in the information display at the proper
oil change service interval; this interval may be up to one year or
10000 miles (16000 kilometers). When ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE or
OIL CHANGE REQUIRED appears in the information display, it is time
for an oil change; the oil change must be done within two weeks or
500 miles (800 kilometers) of the ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE or OIL
CHANGE REQUIRED message appearing. The Intelligent Oil-Life
Monitor® must be reset after each oil change; see theInformation
Displayschapter of yourOwner’s Manual.
If your information display is prematurely reset or becomes inoperative,
you should perform the oil change interval at six months or 5000 miles
(8000 kilometers) from your last oil change. Never exceed one year or
10000 miles (16000 kilometers) between oil change intervals.
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built with multiple, complex,
performance systems. Every manufacturer develops these systems using
different specifications and performance features. That is why it is
important to rely upon your dealership to properly diagnose and repair
your vehicle.
Ford Motor Company has recommended maintenance intervals for
various parts and component systems based upon engineering testing.
Ford Motor Company relies upon this testing to determine the most
appropriate mileage for replacement of oils and fluids to protect your
vehicle at the lowest overall cost to you and recommends against
maintenance schedules that deviate from the scheduled maintenance
information.
Ford strongly recommends the use of only genuine Ford, Motorcraft® or
Ford-authorized remanufactured replacement parts because they are
engineered for your vehicle.
Additives and Chemicals
Ford Motor Company recommended additives and chemicals are listed in
the owner manual and in the Ford Workshop Manual. Additional
chemicals or additives not approved by Ford Motor Company are not
recommended as part of normal maintenance. Please consult your
warranty information.
